Directed by Gary Trousdale (Beauty and the Beast) from a script by Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant (Night at the Museum), the short also stars Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants) as the voice of Bullwinkle Moose.

The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show (originally called Rocky & His Friends) debuted in 1959, featuring the title characters in the main serial, where they were typically hounded by spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Supporting segments included “Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties,” “Fractured Fairy Tales,” “Aesop & Son,” “The World of Commander McBragg” and “Peabody’s Improbable History,” on which Mr. Peabody & Sherman is based.
